Subject: [PATCH 1/4] serial: MPSC: Remove race between Rx stop & restart

From: Carlos Sanchez <carlos.sanchez@...oinc.com>

The patch in commit ID f7232056bff5fe2d3bfeab35252a66ebaeb5bbde
stops (aborts) the MPSC's receive engine just before restarting it.
Unfortunately, it doesn't wait for the abort to complete before
restarting it which creates a race between the abort and the restart.
If the restart occurs first, the in-progress abort stops it again
and the rx engine remains stopped.

Instead, do the abort when the SDMA engine is being stopped.  Make
sure to wait for the abort to complete before continuing.
